Chapter 117 Can't wait for AMD
The room was finally quiet. Wu Tao heaved a sigh of relief, sat down on the sofa, and said to himself: "American girls are really bold and crazy. Yesterday I met a Harvard female student who took the initiative to strike up a conversation, and today I met another one." The Seattle girl delivered to the door by herself is simply too thrilling and exciting."

Touching the chest that was still beating wildly, Wu Tao couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, after all, he is not such a material.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, Tao Wenwen dressed in a professional suit, walked in cheerfully and said, "Mr. Wu, Ms. Lisa Su, the CEO of AMD, is here for an early visit."

"Isn't our meeting scheduled for the day after tomorrow? AMD is so impatient?"

Tao Wenwen tried to analyze: "AMD's performance in the CPU market is declining. Now our technology just has the hope of helping them tide over the difficulties. It's no wonder they are so active."

"Okay, let them in."

The first time he saw Su Lisa, Wu Tao almost thought she was a man.As a Chinese-American woman, she looks too neutral, and even her voice is neutral, without any feminine taste.

"Mr. Wu, I am taking the liberty to visit in advance. I would like to represent AMD's greatest sincerity. I hope that Mr. Wu can read this sincerity and give AMD a chance to cooperate." Said, Lisa Su signaled the secretary to A cooperation plan was submitted to Wu Tao.

Wu Tao flipped through it casually. Judging from this plan, AMD is indeed full of sincerity.Su Lisa should have done sufficient research on the cooperation models between Tianyu Company and other companies, so she made detailed plans for the source of purchase funds.Among them, it even borrowed from Yaskawa Electric's plan, that is, the plan to issue new shares to raise funds.

After closing the planning case, Wu Tao raised his head: "Ms. Su, to be honest, the cooperation planning case provided by your company is quite satisfactory, and it is really not worth your trip in advance."

Su Lisa said with a smile: "Actually, Mr. Wu doesn't know something. It is said that Intel wants to pay a huge sum of money to buy the exclusive right to use this technology in your hand. Considering that Intel's profit margin has always been far higher than ours, all this is not impossible That's why we came here early, hoping to reach a consensus with Mr. Wu."

"If you are only worried about these, I can tell you frankly that Intel may not be able to afford the exclusive right to use this technology. At present, in addition to Intel and your AMD, there are also Nvidia, ARM, etc. chip manufacturers in the world. If Intel wants Exclusive use of this right will cost at least 500 billion U.S. dollars."

Su Lisa and the secretary looked at each other and gasped at the same time.

Even with the wealth and wealth of Intel, I'm afraid they don't have the courage to spend so much money all at once to buy a mere piece of technology.It seems that Wu Tao's judgment is very accurate, and Intel will indeed not do this.

Surprised, Su Lisa felt relieved.

Wu Tao continued: "As long as you can ensure that the funds are in place in time, you will naturally get the shared use right of this technology. But..." Then the topic changed: "Just now, after I read your plan, I thought of A more constructive cooperation plan, I wonder if you are willing to listen to it?"

Su Lisa was slightly surprised and said: "Mr. Wu, please tell me."

Wu Tao got up and talked eloquently: "Today, AMD has lost to Intel in the CPU market. In the graphics card market, your competitor Nvidia has a strong development momentum. It is a great deal for you. Threat. Combined with Intel and Nvidia’s strong alliance, your company’s situation is really worrying.”

"However, in the past two years, under Ms. Su's reasonable management, AMD has not made any wrong business decisions. The company's performance has rebounded, and the company's market value has risen from 19 billion US dollars at the bottom to more than 60 billion US dollars now. "

Hearing this, Su Lisa's face softened.

Wu Tao's tone changed sharply: "However, your company can get my multi-core architecture technology, and Intel and Nvidia can also get it. In this way, the competition situation between you has not changed in any way. The future development prospects of AMD are still unclear. Ms. Su will continue to be worried."

"So I have another option for you, which is to let me acquire your company. In this way, you can not only get this multi-core architecture technology, but also become a supplier of Tianyu intelligent robot controller chips. In time, this will definitely be A win-win situation.”

Su Lisa's body was shocked. When AMD's market value was at a low point, Huaxia had a company to negotiate the acquisition.However, at that time, the company thought that the other party was only rich and lacked key technologies that could change AMD's plight, so it sternly rejected the acquisition request.

Today, the boss of Tianyu Intelligent Robot once again put forward the acquisition request.There are similarities and differences with the original situation.

The same thing is that the other party is a company with rich Chinese background; the difference is that the acquirer did not have technology at the beginning, but today's strong technical background of Tianyu Company is obvious to all in the industry.

Thinking of this, Su Lisa stopped sitting for a long time, stood up and said: "Mr. Wu, I need to submit your idea to the board of directors for discussion and decision. Don't worry, I will convey your sincerity of cooperation to everyone."

After sending Su Lisa away, Tao Wenwen asked without knowing it: "Boss, why did you buy AMD? We just sell technology to them and let them compete. The profits are extremely lucrative, isn't it better?"

Wu Tao explained leisurely: "The innovation of CPU chips is close to the bottleneck, and Moore's Law is also on the verge of failure. New computer chips must overthrow the existing foundation and start from scratch. Considering that AMD has professional talents and For the R&D system, I want to save some trouble and get it done in one step.”

"...But it's really hard to say whether AMD's board of directors can pass it. Because the reason why AMD has declined so far is that their management has made wrong decisions time and time again, so that they have gone from being evenly matched with Intel to now being crushed by a strong force. I can't bear the pressure. I hope this time, they can make the right choice."

Tao Wenwen agreed: "The current AMD is only 100% of Intel's. To be honest, boss, I have been worried that the other party may not be able to spend a huge amount of money to buy our technology. You see, this is the other party's recent capital increase and share expansion. Most of the information is more than one billion. Shareholders may not buy the sudden increase of [-] billion."

Wu Tao smiled and said: "Wenwen, you ignore the influence of our Tianyu brand. Once the cooperation is reached, AMD will immediately release the news of our cooperation. At that time, it will definitely be a shot in the arm for their stock."

"Yeah, how did I forget that."

　Ask for recommendations, ask for collections.
